We can easily track the progress of a task/project with Workfront

4.0 last year

Comments: By centralizing all of a team's work in a single location, Workfront makes it simple for everyone on the team to monitor the status of a given task or project, provide feedback on drafts as needed, and see how their work fits into the bigger picture. Financial coding is a part of it as well.

Pros:

Workfront successfully unifies a wide range of a project's constituent parts. The user has a lot of leeway in determining the system's functionality and the information it stores to suit his own purposes.

Cons:

Workfront's messaging system is not very user-friendly. Direct communication via email or phone is more convenient. On multiple instances, I have checked the Updates section for replies.

A Powerful Project Management Tool for Designers

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Overall a powerful solution for managing design projects, with excellent task tracking, communication, and collaboration features. However, its complexity might be overkill for smaller-scale design workflows or solo designers.

Pros:

This is an excellent project management tool for graphic designers, offering a streamlined interface for managing complex design workflows, setting deadlines, and collaborating with teams across different stages of a project. Its integration with other Adobe Creative Cloud tools makes it easy to access and share design assets without disrupting creative processes.

Cons:

Can be overwhelming for designers new to project management software.

Check out Adobe Workfront

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: My overall experience has been positive, particularly when managing complex projects across larger teams. The ability to integrate seamlessly with other Adobe products is convenient , especially for creative teams. However,the reporting tools are useful, though they could offer more flexibility for customization. In summary, this requires time to master and may be better suited for larger organizations with more complex project management needs.

Pros:

Here are a couple things I found beneficial. Real time updates, being able to customize the workflow, the collaboration features and the mobile feature.

Cons:

When it comes to abobe it’s never cheap.

Review about adobe workfront

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I use workfront on a day to day basis with my teams to touch base on the status of projects and hours we have billed to tasks

Pros:

Integrations are great, and the calendar capability was really helpful for us in communicating externally what our team was working on.

Cons:

I also get frustrated sometimes with the way that comments and updates can get "trapped" at a task level and you can end up having to click around for a while to find a conversation.

Adobe Workfront

5.0 last year

Comments: In general, there is a lot of engagement with Adobe Workfront. Customers appreciate the executive's highlights, such as task following, asset management, and coordinated effort tools, as well as the stage's ambitious endeavor. The ability to adapt work procedures and include task-related activities is frequently regarded as a major benefit. We see it as an important tool for streamlining the project and the executive's processes and enhancing group productivity, even though there may be an expectation to learn and adapt specific to the stage.

Pros:

For the teams I work on at my organization, moving from four distinct platforms—ServiceNow, Excel, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Project—to one platform has been a lifesaver when it comes to project intake, planning, and execution. We developed our own workflows, taught our submitters on a single system, and subsequently trained our PMs on the same system. One benefit I really enjoy is that we may add new features and modifications at any time.

Cons:

It does take some getting used to the program. In order to become familiar with the terminology (tasks vs. projects, dashboards, and reports), a significant amount of onboarding typically occurs. From the standpoint of my team, we utilized our onboarding sessions to personalize dashboards for each team member. Both the designers' and copywriters' dashboards are separate. Thus, even while the intricacy is a drawback, there is a lot of room for additional customization.

Adobe Workfront is the platform you love to hate

4.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Workfront streamlines task management and in-depth processes. Its deep customization abilities allow you to tailor the tool to meet your company's needs and specific processes.

Cons:

Workfront has a clean UI and looks friendly, but there are a lot of links behind the scenes between tasks, projects, etc. To master this takes a lot of practice and is a steep learning curve. My previous workplace just used Workfront for timesheets, which made it much easier.

Less time more work finished

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: This tool's reporting feature is fantastic, and it's also quite simple to create.It may search all projects using particular keywords, such the vendor name, product name, or brand that my marketing team is attempting to promote.Because of this tool's outstanding customer service, easy-to-use interface, and manageability, I heartily recommend it.

Pros:

Workfront facilitates the creation, delegation, prioritization, and seamless delivery of projects, ultimately leading to increased productivity. To put it briefly, it simplifies work and project administration."

Cons:

Report generation in Workfront can be a challenging effort for developers at times, since there are instances where building a report requires access to non-existent objects and instances where applying a filter yields inaccurate results, necessitating assistance from Adobe Fusion.

Project Management Platform

4.0 11 months ago

Pros:

Adobe Workfront is a relatively simply platform to roll out, being able to customise request forms and personalise back-end view of incoming projects. It's easy to find and leave updates, attach docs, and communicate with other Workfront users involved on the project.

Cons:

Workfront can be somewhat laborious - difficult to create personalised reports and overviews, and notifications can be easily lost. More personalisation options, including for planned hours and blocking out calendar dates, would go a long way to making this THE project management platform to use.

Pros:

Adobe is straight forward and very easy to navigate, learn and to teach others about. It also offers some very strong tools.
